In terms of prevention, and it may not answer your question, there's a program out of B.C. called financial literacy. That is a very good preventive program that we need to look at in other provinces across Canada, as far as working with seniors, to help educate, if I can put it that way, in terms of how not to get into certain situations that they're getting into, and even if they're in it, to get out of those situations sooner. It's taking a different approach on that other end of the spectrum.
If we're really serious about this as we get older, and I'm 65 in eight years, we recognize that these situations are very common. They're very normal and they're very subtle—how we start lending. I'm lending more and more money to my kids. Then it can reach a point where it goes beyond, where it starts to move into the area of abuse. That happens so suddenly that sometimes you don't know it until you're there and it's almost too late to go back.
So we need those other kinds of supports, like the programs like financial literacy, that help empower you, to give you that self-esteem to deal with those situations. I'm talking like a social worker now, but that's what I am. Those are some of the things we need to look at in any society, within our communities, to help all of us, age-related or not, just in terms of how we deal with other people and how we get trapped into these situations.
